New Equipment on a Turlock Dairy Farm Reduces ...

California Department of Food and Agriculture

Supported by a $565,470 grant from the California Department of Food and Agriculture’s Alternative Manure Management Program, Paul Danbom of Brindeiro & Danbom Dairy Farms in Turlock took a significant step towards improving the efficiency of his dairy operation and installed a new solid separation system. Instead of flushed manure being discharged directly into a settling pond and storage lagoon system, it is now pumped through a separator capable of capturing a large portion of manure solids, keeping that organic material from entering and decomposing in a liquid environment where it would produce methane.

Revitalizing Rural and City Transit: Electric Buses arrive in Merced County

In the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, a transformative project is underway to reshape public transportation in communities around Merced.

The initiative improves air quality and spurs economic growth by adding battery‑electric buses into The Bus, Merced County’s public transit system.
